Spain’s power network has remained silent on the actual cause of Europe’s worst power blackout in a generation, but has acknowledged that it is “very possible” that a problem with solar power systems may have contributed to the failure. A freak weather incident was blamed on Monday for a massive power cut that affected the entire Iberian Peninsula, depriving Spain and Portugal of electricity. However, this narrative was quickly questioned by energy industry insiders, and Spain’s national energy company now acknowledges that renewable power failure may have been a contributing factor. While the Spanish media is today full of the effects of yesterday’s total blackout, with 150,000 having to be rescued from underground trains trapped in tunnels and whole areas, including hospitals, left without water as the electric-powered pumps fell silent, the public unable to buy food and drink unless they had ready cash to hand, and telephone and internet networks being rendered non-functional, less is being said about how the crisis began. Bloomberg energy industry journalist Javier Blas, who is Spanish, stated he had received the RE timeline on how power fluctuations caused a cascading failure that disconnected the whole Peninsula and millions of people from electricity, but noted caustically that “I find very difficult to believe that the Spanish government doesn’t have by now a rough idea of the origin of the blackout… [there is] silence about the causes of the worst blackout in living memory in Europe.” ...Yet more critical, Porter said, was that Spain’s rush for solar and wind had made the power network more fragile because, without system inertia and redundancy, it is susceptible to shock. Brexit’s Nigel Farage... said on Tuesday morning that “the power outage in Spain is a warning”. The United Kingdom is dangerously reliant on foreign energy imports, he said, stating: “This net zero madness must end”. $350,000 to keep pride parading going? there are too many people who can't afford their rent, people in shelters and food banks not keeping up with demand! This is sick! I am also sorry that the photo in the article that you have to see is disgusting. Indian and Pakistani troops have exchanged border fire for a second straight day, in an increasingly volatile and highly dangerous crisis which could develop into full-scale war between longtime nuclear-armed rivals. Islamic militants killed 26 Indian tourists who had been in a picturesque, mountainous and popular spot in Indian-administered Kashmir on Tuesday. India quickly blasted Pakistan for harboring terrorists in the disputed border area, a charge which Pakistani leaders vehemently rejected, instead suggesting it was a 'false flag' orchestrated by New Delhi. Pakistan’s PM Sharif meanwhile said his country is ready to defend its sovereignty but offered willingness to establish a "neutral" international investigation into the attack. Days into the crisis and land borders have been shut, visas and military exchange programs mutually canceled, and a landmark water treaty has been suspended. Al Jazeera writes that Indian "Armed police and soldiers are searching homes and forests for fighters in Kashmir, and India’s army chief reviewed security in the region," amid the hunt for the killers. As for the two consecutive days of border fire, it's unclear precisely where this took place or whether either side took on casualties. Several military outposts reported exchanges of fire. On former diplomat has warned the region could descend into full-blown war. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pakistan-india-exchange-2nd-straight-day-border-fire-brink (LifeSiteNews) — The World Economic Forum has launched an investigation into its founder, Klaus Schwab, after the 87-year-old stepped down as chairman of the organization Monday. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that a “whistleblower” who works for the WEF accused Schwab and his wife of unethical financial and personal behaviors. Of the accusations leveled at Schwab include claims that he “asked junior employees to withdraw thousands of dollars from ATMs on his behalf and used Forum funds to pay for private, in-room massages at hotels,” the Wall Street Journal reports. His wife, Hilde, who also worked for the WEF, reportedly organized meetings so she could enjoy traveling at the organization’s expense, the paper also said. The WEF noted that while the allegations against Schwab are serious “they remain unproven, and will await the outcome of the investigation to comment further.” LifeSiteNews contributor Jonathan van Maren has previously written that the WEF’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland has drawn criticism from opponents on both the political left and right in recent years. While the group has no formal power, it brings together many of the world’s wealthiest and most influential figures, including LGBT activists, population control advocates, and pro-abortion voices. Schwab, who is German, founded the group in 1971. Schwab’s resignation was announced on April 21, but did not indicate why he was resigning. The British government is reportedly just weeks away from approving bizarre experiments aimed at dimming sunlight in a bid to combat so-called climate change. Proposed outdoor trials may involve spraying aerosols into the upper atmosphere or artificially brightening clouds to bounce sunlight back into space in order to help cool the earth. Another key focus of current research is on Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM), which involve techniques like Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI)—the process of dispersing fine particles high into the stratosphere to bounce a portion of sunlight back into space.‘Net Zero Madness’: Spain’s Reliance on Solar Energy Blamed For Massive Nations-Wide Power Cut:
